Bypassing the need to access your router and setup port forwarding, it can be set up effortlessly by anyone, even those with very little IT experience. The FI9831P adopts a high performance media processor and high speed video protocol processor making it capable of H.264 video compression for extremely smooth high definition video transmission, increased FPS and minimal bandwidth consumption.
